Do you have any unpopular opinions???VOL....2

For every slow guy in a civic you got a dude with underglow trying to break the sound barrier though bringing up the average.

Blaming everything on social media is a cop out and peak hypocrisy.

All of the issues existed online long before FB and Twitter. Especially on Forums. Including Niketalk and it's variants like HT are the early forms and foundation of what social media is.

The mental gymnastics performed to separate the two is always fascinating.

People on this site hate it when this is said but I agree one hundred percent.

My point was not that social media created issues
social media in my opinion validates bad/sinful behavior
for example, sex work is not a field woman should be in
yet its promoted online
being out out of shape is not something to be glorified, while also not villified we should promote being healthy
yet online if u say something about it ur a hater, when that person whos. out of shape would loveto be in shape

gluttony is promoted with people getting 100 dollars worth of fast food and eating it like a pig

u cant say im wrong bruddah

Ask any fool that acts like that how they would feel if their mother/sister/daughters got down like that if they would sing the same tune.

Gotta remember a lot of these opinions in a public forum are performative as hell.

Rickybobbyism, if you ain't first you're last. So many people get triggered by you simply passing them.

I don't understand these folks at all. I'm just trying to get to my destination, not play games on the road. Passed a guy on a bike because he was slow and I was late, he speeds up next to me, gesturing. Like who cares? Fill your life with other things.

i dont respond to road rage
my windows are tinted super super dark
i just keep it rolling if they wanna play games i slow down and move out the way/get on another street

 

[mplsdunk]

you can have fun driving without being a total dildo too.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I also feel the tone in which you beep at someone shouldn't be greater than your real life bark. If you ain't willing to verbally assault someone and back it up with physicality, you need to not use aggressive horn honks.

 

[mplsdunk]

aggressive honking is for women.

 

[StillNice$hoes247]

Just get out the way dog

 

[spizike231]

Nothing. Probably just has 250k miles

Them old Hondas and Toyotas still run like tops at 250k if taken care of papi

With their Instagram on the side and some little stuffed toy hanging off the little hook he put in the back

Also on the topic of cars - I used to make a comment or hate when I saw a “build” of any type pass me that isn’t my style. IE the slammed Civics, trucks, super lifted trucks with no dirt, etc.
idk if I’ve just matured but I realize now it’s just someone’s form of expressing themselves and who cares truly

Except misaligned headlights and idiots who run their LED light bars or ditch lights on the road.. idiots.

 

[mplsdunk]

I've had multiple 4runners past 250k, they'd just get too rusty (frame) so I'd scrap them and re up on another 20 year old one.

my first car was and '87 accord with 350k , wheel well rusted out and the back seats got moldy.

I drive a gti now but I think when that kicks the bucket my might get another 4runner new and try and run it up to 300k since they don't rust as bad now.

the trucks with "locally hated" on them are just as bad. nobody hates you dog, nobody even knows who you are.

100% If you're cutting people off, your're doing it wrong. I dont even road rage anymore, I just do slick ****, like help folks box themselves in traffic as people in Houston don't just pass people, they really want them to move out of their way.

Just make sure the 4Runner you get (if newer) has the 4.0 V6.. I got one in my Tacoma now and she’s at 210k.

 

[executive76]

I seems like you might be thinking that people are saying "The internet caused these problems" when they mean "The internet highlights/amplifies these problems."

Nah that's just a spin move.

The saying is always some variation of "social media is the devil" like Bobby Boucher's Mom.




Social media platforms tend to start off pretty niche. Word to FB. Which was more exclusive than forums who have always had kids,teens and adults interacting.

The theme/niche of said forums aren't always where the issue lie it's the subgroups. But WE know that.

General, Music, S&T and Showcase was/is just a microcosm of what people complain about when it comes to social media.

PYP threads and how dudes used to bully the 7 lady NTers is different than social media because we know who Tinker Hatfield is

it's gonna be a while, I only have 83k on my gti now. I'll push it to at least double that. I don't want a car payment for a while.

 

[tr1ll]

Whats going on YOUR social medias because bullying women is like the polar opposite of whats happening nowadays. At least in MY algorithm.

Comparing an anonymous shoe board to the poison that is IG or TikTok?
Kids weren't killing themselves because they were being bullied by dudes on HT .

re: Driving

Back to that convo about road rage. Some of yall really swear yall OWN the roads.

What I don't understand is when someone is merging into another lane and the person already in the lane (completely out of the way) feels the need to BEEP at the car merging. What is the point here? Did I take something that belonged to you?

This morning I merged into a left lane and the car that is now behind me was at least 6 feet behind me but still felt the need to beep at me? THAT hurt your ego man?

Possible they were honking at some other car?
Or that it was an accident?
I only drive according to the local and national traffic laws, but I've accidentally hit my horn before then immediately waved a hand up* like "Sorry everyone! Accident!" while actually saying the words "Sorry! Accident!"
I wish cars didn't even have horns.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*With a hand on the wheel. Nothing I currently do is wrong, and if it were, perfect sensationalists online don't need to read vulnerable 'confessions.'

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea I could tell by the tone of the honk that it wasn't an accident.

 

[fluid hips]

Rickybobbyism, if you ain't first you're last. So many people get triggered by you simply passing them.

This is why I wait till the last second to signal to turn on the highway to change lanes. If you do it in advance, mfs speed up to not let you in

Yea back in the day you had to seek out pr0n. Now you open IG and softcore is right in your face. Kids are getting exposed to it.

On top of that, women have realized that showing their butt in tight clothes equals views so you have videos on IG and YouTube of a woman doing basic things like working on a car or painting a wall but she purposefully wore spandex to get an audience and make money from it

Facts. My feed always devolves into T&A . I’m searching for workout equipment reviews, golf swing tips, DJing tutorials, etc. Then eventually it turns into baddies doing these things in deep v-necks and spandex.
